Hello I have an issue maybe someone can help me with, i have an Acer AM5630 that i bought about 15months ago. I use it mainly for Playing the Game World of Warcraft, but just about a month ago it started shutting down while i was playing. The problem gradually got worse, and now i log in to the game and only 4-5 mins pass before my comp shuts down. I have McAfee Total Protection 2009, and no viruses pop up, all my scan come out clean, i dont know what it could be, can anyone help me...pls My comptuer can be on all day long and i can run anything, on it including movies and software, but as soon as i turn on World of Warcraft it shuts down...can anyone help?

The computer shutting itself down generally means there's a problem with your system, usually conflicts or bad connections. Have you added any new software or hardware to the PC in the last month? If you're getting a soft crash (to the desktop) check and see if there's a patch available for the game. It might be that WOW is putting a lot of stress on your graphics card or system in general. I'm sure someone else will be able to give you more options, but this is all I can think of at the moment.
